That deer is fine to eat!! Congrats on a stud buck!!!! Thanks for taking us on the rideHe was probably less than 30 yards from where we found the last flood last night. We must have walked another half mile or more passed him, but we also walked right past him. We followed blood on the first two tracks, then this morning I literally followed a hunch. Looked where I thought he would likely go towards a downhill creek crossing, where I know dear move and bed. I saw a rock that looked to be a little too light brown to be a real rock, and sure enough they were antlers attached. We walked right by him several times. It was in the 40s last night, so I am presently headed to the butcher to find out if he is salvageable.
